Hollow by M.L. Burns is an emotional dark MM romance filled with trauma, longing, and unresolved love. Ayden’s return home after eight years forces him and Keoni to confront the painful past between them. Their story is layered with regret, forbidden tension, and emotional depth that makes every interaction feel raw and powerful. A gripping and deeply angsty read.

Stop blaming books for broken people. Fiction doesn’t turn readers into monsters—monsters choose to be monstrous. Dark romance explores pain, power, and survival. It heals more than it harms. So no, the villain isn’t on page 237—it’s in real-life decisions. Blame the monster, not the medium.
